Greetings from Hungary!
You've opened Pandora's Box with these secrets. Straight away I've beaten my PB's on Watkins and Nurburgring. At one point 1.56 around the Nurburgring was a barrier for me but now getting consistent low 1.55s. On this track especially it's made a huge difference on sector 1 where in the Macca I never had confidence in the rear end as it always wanted to oversteer but feels so much more planted now with these base settings. Thanks Jards!
I have been sim racing and a subscriber for nearly 3 years , i am 64 years young, and this is the best info video i have seen, using this i managed a 1:16.3 at SPA, you certainly know how to make an old man happy ;D
You are doing god's work with this video. The feeling that others know setup "meta" in the current patch that I don't know about drives me crazy. Thank you so much for this!
I just started playing again a couple days ago after taking some time off right after the 1.9 update released. I was all over the track and not having fun at all. All I did was follow your generalized suggestions and this is a whole new game. Thank you for giving me an easy to follow starting point to dial things in. Learning to drive all over again.
Good explanation and will give anyone a good starting point for making setups in 1.9. Learning everything can be very time consuming and seem impossible almost but i also think it's rewarding to drive something you made yourself and finally be able to fine tunes things. It takes alot of time on the track and changing things just a few clicks at a time to really build up that knowledge. But after having a good understanding it's easier to take bigger steps if the car feels wrong
I agree totally. Like Jard can just go min or max in tuning experiments "for science," as he said, but it seemed totally helter skelter to me... I couldn't do that. I wouldn't know what happened or how or why. I would have to do incremental changes for each and every tunable item one at at time just to learn what it does... Sucks to be a rook.
@@virtualawakening2299 yeah exactly, been there. It takes alot of time to have understanding of what everything does and why, but more importantly what to try and when. On paper it just says more oversteer but raising the rear by two clicks can change the whole balance of the car while one click stiffer rear arb and two less diff preload made it perfect. Needs alot of attention also while driving to pick up these differences when making small changes
2k hours spent in ACC, but only of late have I started messing with setups. Releasing something like this means so much to not only me, but I imagine so many others. This will be a go to video when working on setups
I was HARDSTUCK at 1:42 on Kylami and now I can do 41s so easily. It's insane, I feel that many people understand the physics enough to tune setups but this knowledge of silly game mechanic metas is what's missing. Thank you for revealing these secrets
I have 1200 hrs on acc and in top 10% of LFM drivers always using setups ive found on YT. This is giving me the comfortability to start pursuing selfmade setups more tailored to my driving style. This is by far the most informative and helpful video explaining ACC setups ive ever watched. Ive learned a lot. Thank you so much for this!
Yeh. I remember when 1.9 came out, and Jards was just min-maxing things seemingly at random, "for science!" as he called it. lol. But he could pull information from it that I couldn't. lol. I'd have to use Motec and ACC Engineer and then explore onwards!
As someone who is new to ACC, this is fantastic. Great overview of what each area does to the car, can't wait to get in and get practicing and fine tuning!
Just found this video yesterday. I have followed your advice and it has changed my world. All the frustrations of track limits, slow lap times and poor SR are gone. Thank you Jardier. Legend. ❤
You have basically just gone and updated the default aggressive preset now. When I'm making a new setup now I'll just go and instantly change these things and then start making my setup from there. Thanks a lot Jardier!
ummm... You might want to try starting from the default aggressive setup and then use ACC Engineer to help with the tuning. You won't have the extreme setup that Jards recommends...

This is the content WE NEED from you brother! Thanks! Any and all things like this coming from people like you are what we need out there to put other rumors of setups to rest.
Jardier, thank you so much for sharing this information. I had been stuck in the mid 2:16.2s at Spa in the Maclaren Evo until I gained some very helpful advice from you. Only hours after watching, I turned a 2:16.000 in a public server Qualifying Session using two of the tips you shared. Two and a half tenths of a second is a huge jump and I owe it to your knowledge and willingness to benefit others by using your platform to teach. Again, thank you, Jardier!
@@Jardier - Using your tips, I have continued to develop my set and turned a 2:15.522 at Spa. I routinely qualify in the 15s now and run race laps down to the 15.7s. Thank you, again, for sharing this information. I am a better racer because of you!
I was driving Porsche at Suzuka at felt like i had hit a brick wall. I watched this video and immediately on the next lap i had improved by 2 SECONDS! mad, youre a legend my guy
@Jardier this video helped so freaking much!! Was having a hell of a time with understeer and no traction, applied these steps to my setup now and won my first race last night and got a top 5 in the second one!! Much love and respect bro!!
great video. only peice of advice is move your self camera. everything you did on the left rear was hidden. Only if you repeated it on the right was it visible. there were several times where you said "you do this here" and did not say the numbers out loud so, it could not be seen. Thanks again for your hard work!
Monza is my home track, and with these tips, I've modified the aggressive preset and so far gained about .3s and I can feel room to improve, thank you for this video man. I'll definitely be playing with some settings with much better understanding of what they do now.
I'll scribble some notes here. Optimal tyre pressure - high 26's. Negative camber - always maximum, little less in rain. Full negative toe on rear for max rotation, or at least more exaggerated than default. But use this less often than previous update/version. Highest caster - allow more rotation. Full negative toe on front. Minus 0.05 on negative toe if you want to be conservative, especially on endurance race. Low TC. Higher on the newest McLaren. Low ABS. Even 1 in rain. TC2 on zero. Maybe 1 in rain. Brake pads at level 1 in 90 minute races. Level 2 between 2 and 12 hour races. Level 3 for 24 hours. Lowest steer ratio for most responsive. Middle for some cars like Ferrari, porsche, bmw, audi. Lowest setting on front and rear mechanical grip for best grip and tyre life and allow turning on throttle. Rear bump stop range at 20. Very low front bump stop range allows responsive steering but understeer on throttle, and more understeer overall. Higer or highest front bump stop range lets you rotate on throttle! Increase rear wheel rate a little bit if you still need more oversteer. Front anti-roll maxium for Ferarri and very low on rear roll bar. Or increase rear roll bar on Nurburgring, especially in McLaren. Low preload for more turning off throttle. Higher preload for stability off throttle but more oversteer on throttle. Bumps on zero and rebounds on MAX! Perhaps 1 front bump for stability or 1 rear bump for oversteer. Brake ducts at 3. If track temperature is hot as 50 degrees have high ducts. If temperature is low as 15 decrease ducts. Very low or lowest front ride height. Experiment yourself on rear ride height and wing. Thank you Jardier! Oh and fast rebound has been my best friend when it comes to curbs even in the older updates. I really can't remember a single situation at all that having fast rebound set too high has been detrimental to my driving.
Thanks @Jardier, nice and useful content. I tested in 8 laps, and it gave me ~0.3sec, but most importantly with more stability. I prefer low wing higher rear ARB. But the fun part, i loaded safe setup in Imola, and in 4th lap i had just +0.2sec gap until last two corners, where i collected +0,4sec :D. I was surpliced how well the safe setup performs with a small driving style adoption.
This is such a useful video. I did a quick test and I gained about 2 seconds in SPA, and I barely scratched the surface, I didn't even go that extreme on the suspension and dampers. Thank you so much sir! I fully agree with the other comments, kudos to you for the good sportsmanship and helping everybody else enjoying the game, where many others guards even just the tips and tricks.
VERY useful, Thanks, Jardier!! I tend to be an intermittent ACC player, and hadn't really kept up with the latest info on the newest update, so this is 100 percent the video that I needed.
Thanks brother, this helped a bunch. Great basic starting place. Made it so much easier to dial in. Although I’m still playing with those dials, this got me so much closer than I’ve ever been to a decent setup. Ya got my sub, keep up the content. Great job
One thing that I would really like to see, would probably be very long though, but like a explained video about each item, like wheel toe, what it is and how it affects the car, then the dumper and wings and so on, most of the time we just have the "bars" and you move it left or right, until it "feels nice"
for our last league race on suzuka i had a peek at your setup for the 720 evo and could not believe you actually run the dampers like that... until i tried it. now i just default my dampers everywhere to that setting and it works a lot better than what i can manage with motec. you can probably get even better results with motec if you have an actual engineer looking at your data but for us normal amateur drivers the min/max dampers work like a charm. i've adapted a lot of your setup into my way of thinking, like the anti rollbars, preload, tc settings... before this i was running tc on 5 or 6 on the 720 evo and it was so boring out of slow hairpins. yesterday i played around some public lobbies with some friends and got these laptimes with a quick setup: suzuka 2.01.1 spa 2.18.2 nurburgring:1.56.1 all with those dampers and that mentality in the setup work. obviously you can only do so much with a 15min qualy and a 20min race and jumping around to other tracks after every race, so i'd probably be even faster if i was focussing on 1 track for like a 2hr league race.
Im so happy mate it works good for you! If you work around it more and find good values its soooo easy if you create like a base setup you can use anywhere almost :D
OH MY GOD, I'm enjoying the game so much more after this, I went from qualifying towards the back of the pack and finishing in the same place, to qualifying in the midfield and starting to get my first top 10 finishes in LFM races, thx man
Thank you so much Jardier! Just the basic setup guidelines you showed mad me like a whole 2.5 seconds faster around Kyalami in the NSX! I am so happy right now! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the explanation for what each setting does. I'll watch it a few more times to fully digest though. Question: Is there a certain percentage you look for on the front aero variation? You could almost do a video for each section for us setup handicapped people like me.
heh heh heh! I believe Jards is just as setup handicapped as you! He just has skillz that make him fassst! No really! Watch some of his live streams when 1.9 came out. His tuning method was not scientific at all, but mad scientist gone insane! It was funny, but totally opposite of confidence inspiring! You have to watch and like!
I used this as a base and changed a few things around as they felt better and I swear even with a lap with less than good lines I took 3 seconds off my best at COTA. You’ve got my subscription now. Epic stuff
As a novice to simracing setup I think incredible can't be enough to describe how good this guide is to a beginner like me. Setup is scary and confusing but with this explanation I can finally understand the most important part for a good handling car. Thank you very much, your kindness is inimitable
OMG 😊 Thank you so much. I have been playing around with settings to find a stable base to build from and you’ve only gone and supplied it. First run out at Nurburgring and I managed to find 3 seconds. I’m so grateful… keep sharing your tips, we love them. 😉
Hey Man, it did not feel long and definitely not exhausting! Great to hear opinions based on experience - super valuable! As a followup to this it would be fascinating to see you put this on a random car/track and watch you test/adjust as you go, maybe showing how to feel when something is "too much" or "not enough"
OMG!!! He can't do a methodical "test" 🤣 There was a live stream when 1.9 first came out, and he was just insane min maxing different settings, "FOR SCIENCE!!!" but like for reals, it was just insanity! He was changing settings so extreme and totally min maxing stuff at random, and I thought, how can he get any info from this chaos??? There was 0 scientific methodology to it. I think he would go insane and stab someone if he had to do one click at a time on settings... 😅🤣
This tips help me A LOT! I was never able to do Blanchimont (Spa turn 17) at full throtle. Understanding theses tips I was able not only to make my car better but also understrand what I was doing. Thanks from Brazil!
Im going to test this soon. I like sim racing, but life takes too much time, so I get to race maybe once a week so I dont have time to setup and test cars. I would really like some servers with locked setups so People would be on same starting point. Of course driving styles suite some setups more than others, but it just frustrating to give up 2s a lap just bc you dont have time to test all setups. So thanks for this. Ive tried some RUclipsr setups before and gotten 1-2s of my lap with them, but they were much more conservative. Looking forward to driving yours.
I am back after 2 years, and will continue to do sim racing, and Jimmy and Jardier are two faces I see are still around and even stronger and with even bigger enthusiasm. It is amazing. Great video bud!
Thank you very much. I tried adjusting the base line setups but reached a point where I felt that the setup was limiting me. Following standard advice was always "don't go too soft or the car will be sluggish or unstable". I started with your recommendations and now have a setup for the Nordschleife where I am the limit. The car can do more and is still as stable as my previous attempts while turning much better. Thank you for this guide1
didn't think this would help so much, genuinely just having listened has given me some ideas to solve so many issues I've been having in my setups, massive W
Thanks so much for this. I just started getting back into ACC with the Ferrari 296 and I was struggling for pace. After watching this vid and making changes to my setup, I instantly cut down my lap times.
Thank you for this. I play single player and only want to challenge myself in my Nissan GTR, which is great fun to drive. I just need to not have a job or a family so I have enough time to try your suggestions out and tweak things per track!!
I've been struggling to get back to lap times in 1.8 version and just tried your setup tips, spent an hour practicing on Spa in Mclaren 720s EVO and have beaten my previous best by 0.5s . Thank you very much , brilliant advice.
the higher the caster, the more camber you create while turning the wheel, look videos of old mercedes S classes running high caster the front tire always sits like this /. So the main idea is, the higher the caster the less static camber you need to take to reduce inner wear on straits. Also the higher the caster the "force" with the wheels want to go straight again is much higher, thats why lots of the drift cars use high caster to make the wheel rotate faster to 0° 🙂 Also negative toe in front makes the inital turn when moving the wheel quite response, wether in the middle of the corner you will miss feedback. negative toe on the rear makes the car very oversteery as the tires are like this \ / now when you turn the chassis rolls on the outer tire and this wants to go to the outside of the corner so thats the most carefulpoint on that ;D
Then you buy a setup from a reputable company for the AMG Merc in ACC and they run with max caster, max neg camber, max etc. It works but makes no sense and leaves no room for adjustment
This has changed acc for me 100percent,i watched lots off you're videos,and i said too myself he's very precise with his driving, iv just tried you're settings, omfg i can drive really good now,thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot for this material. I was finally able to move from 16th to 11th position. After hundreds of hours of frustration with the ACC, satisfaction has finally arrived. :)))
This makes great sense from a meta perspective, really appreciate you sharing these tips. For us people lower split 1, we trying so desperately to find that 1s were off pace, and this just got us a lot closer. Ty!
Thank you, Jardier, I hope this helps me. Audi was my car until 1.9, so I hope this info helps me figure it out again. It has become a very unpredictable car.
this completely revolutionised my game man. i applied these changes to my aston setup and although i didn't immediately gain any time, i'm able to lap very close to my PB (still not very fast lol) so consistently and it feels so much better to drive. definitely agree the setups feel a bit less "passionate" with just min/max dampers and bumpstops but i always found them very tedious as someone who doesn't get much time to race, so this video was a godsend. thank you so much
Hey buddy, nice very nice interesting video !! I was / am fighting my own battle against the big C... But trying to pick up hobby's like simracing and this video helps a lot with ACC and other sims
I like this kid. He has an honest enthusiasm for racing. Unlike some of the boring self opinionated whelks on RUclips. Watching him race is a great way to learn how to approach races. Keep them coming pal.
I had to watch this video a couple of times to get all the information, but I really like this kind of "exausting" video! :D Tried this changes yesterday and it was mindblowing! The car is behaving a lot better now!
I have been using almost the same setup lol. I am not as skilled as you but found very similar setup on RUclips. Seems to work on almost every car. R8 and 911 just little different in rollbar . Then I tweak little things to damper but the tow I'm trying your setting and love it. Thanks
Protect this man at all costs! I was too fast and felt AI had nothing to offer on normal, but on Hard they were taking me to the cleaners. After using these tips in setting up my car, I'm now enjoying a much more responsive car and battling for podium position every race. Truly appreciated Jardier!!!
Thank you for a great video explaining all these things! I just got myself ACC after playing around in free roam in AC, and I much prefer ACC. And now I got an idea of how to set up the cars as well! So far I have been driving them as they were, so it will be interesting to see if I can improve.
Thank you for this video. It somehow shows how weird the ACC physics are. I would have never come to the idea to run such extreme values, for example on anti-roll bars and dampers. But if it works, it works...
I so much appreciate you taking the time to go though this! I haven’t run 1.9 yet but going to soon. Always before I really struggled w ACC, th car Never felt planted, hoping this will help. Thanks again so much for sharing this info with us!!!
Jardier! You are a legend mate. Thanks so much for sharing this. Setups is where I've been struggling to fully understand and I know it's been holding me back. Using your advice here and tweaking it for my own style has helped me find tenths where I haven't been able to for months. Huge fan mate. Love all your content. Thanks again.
Just wanted to say thank you Jardier, im just getting in to simracing(first/second week) and this helps immensely since ive understood already how much car setups matter, even though i dont fully understand how to. So thank you and i hope you keep doing these as the game(s) changes! :)
Just wow. Thanks Jardier! I quite literally gained 1.5 seconds at Watkins using these pointers. im down to 44.9 after being stuck at 46's for about a week of practice.
Hi Jardier, Late reaction. I've listened carefully to your advice and as you say, with some adjustments to my driving style (let's have a laugh), I've improved it, which now allows me to focus on the trajectories and the lap times are coming down regularly.
this is great information. thank you, Im very new to sim racing and know a little bit about cars, but this information will help me map out the effects of each setting, stability vs control vs speed. thanks again @Jardier
Thank you for being a kind person and helping the rest in sharing these things cause it so daunting setting up these cars I spend more time setting up than actually racing and by the time I’m done I don’t want to race 🫣 great vid keep up the good work & just a request move the camera to the side where it’s not blocking the values when you changing it 🙏🏼
I felt the car is improved as a whole with your basic setup suggestion right out of the box. I had to do some 10-15 laps to get used to it without any improvement but the potential was there, you can feel it. Finally I made lots of pace and within a couple of laps after that initial weirdness, i gained like 1 full second. The car feels like you can push more and more in any given place of the track.
I have just started with ACC and found your videos very resourceful. Will definitely play with this goulash of parameters the way u insist :) Thank you!
Let me know if this was useful for you! Setups are always hard work but I think since 1.9 some stuff got a bit easier :) What do you think?
thanks for the explanation🙏👏💯
thanks i learned soo many new things

Full negative toe on rear for max rotation, or at least more exaggerated than default. But use this less often than previous update/version.
Highest caster - allow more rotation.
Full negative toe on front.
Minus 0.05 on negative toe if you want to be conservative, especially on endurance race.
Low TC. Higher on the newest McLaren.
Low ABS. Even 1 in rain.
TC2 on zero. Maybe 1 in rain.
Brake pads at level 1 in 90 minute races. Level 2 between 2 and 12 hour races. Level 3 for 24 hours.
Lowest steer ratio for most responsive. Middle for some cars like Ferrari, porsche, bmw, audi.
Lowest setting on front and rear mechanical grip for best grip and tyre life and allow turning on throttle.
Rear bump stop range at 20.
Very low front bump stop range allows responsive steering but understeer on throttle, and more understeer overall.
Higer or highest front bump stop range lets you rotate on throttle!
Increase rear wheel rate a little bit if you still need more oversteer.
Front anti-roll maxium for Ferarri and very low on rear roll bar.
Or increase rear roll bar on Nurburgring, especially in McLaren.
Low preload for more turning off throttle. Higher preload for stability off throttle but more oversteer on throttle.
Bumps on zero and rebounds on MAX!
Perhaps 1 front bump for stability or 1 rear bump for oversteer.
Brake ducts at 3. If track temperature is hot as 50 degrees have high ducts. If temperature is low as 15 decrease ducts.
Very low or lowest front ride height. Experiment yourself on rear ride height and wing.
Thank you Jardier!
Oh and fast rebound has been my best friend when it comes to curbs even in the older updates. I really can't remember a single situation at all that having fast rebound set too high has been detrimental to my driving.
Man I just started ACC,came from the F1 series and GT7...you are my mentor on this one 🙏 thanks for your efforts!
Jardier, this is great. Thank you for all the time you put into this. You rock!
Thanks @Jardier, nice and useful content. I tested in 8 laps, and it gave me ~0.3sec, but most importantly with more stability. I prefer low wing higher rear ARB. But the fun part, i loaded safe setup in Imola, and in 4th lap i had just +0.2sec gap until last two corners, where i collected +0,4sec :D. I was surpliced how well the safe setup performs with a small driving style adoption.
This is such a useful video. I did a quick test and I gained about 2 seconds in SPA, and I barely scratched the surface, I didn't even go that extreme on the suspension and dampers. Thank you so much sir! I fully agree with the other comments, kudos to you for the good sportsmanship and helping everybody else enjoying the game, where many others guards even just the tips and tricks.
VERY useful, Thanks, Jardier!! I tend to be an intermittent ACC player, and hadn't really kept up with the latest info on the newest update, so this is 100 percent the video that I needed.
Jards! Make more of these for more subs!!!!!
Thanks brother, this helped a bunch. Great basic starting place. Made it so much easier to dial in. Although I’m still playing with those dials, this got me so much closer than I’ve ever been to a decent setup. Ya got my sub, keep up the content. Great job
One of the best ACC set up guides I have ever watched. I might actually start playing it again. Thank you for making this, great work.
Thank you!
One thing that I would really like to see, would probably be very long though, but like a explained video about each item, like wheel toe, what it is and how it affects the car, then the dumper and wings and so on, most of the time we just have the "bars" and you move it left or right, until it "feels nice"
You're a credit to the sim racing community 👍
for our last league race on suzuka i had a peek at your setup for the 720 evo and could not believe you actually run the dampers like that... until i tried it. now i just default my dampers everywhere to that setting and it works a lot better than what i can manage with motec. you can probably get even better results with motec if you have an actual engineer looking at your data but for us normal amateur drivers the min/max dampers work like a charm. i've adapted a lot of your setup into my way of thinking, like the anti rollbars, preload, tc settings... before this i was running tc on 5 or 6 on the 720 evo and it was so boring out of slow hairpins. yesterday i played around some public lobbies with some friends and got these laptimes with a quick setup:
suzuka 2.01.1
spa 2.18.2
nurburgring:1.56.1
all with those dampers and that mentality in the setup work. obviously you can only do so much with a 15min qualy and a 20min race and jumping around to other tracks after every race, so i'd probably be even faster if i was focussing on 1 track for like a 2hr league race.
Im so happy mate it works good for you! If you work around it more and find good values its soooo easy if you create like a base setup you can use anywhere almost :D
OH MY GOD, I'm enjoying the game so much more after this, I went from qualifying towards the back of the pack and finishing in the same place, to qualifying in the midfield and starting to get my first top 10 finishes in LFM races, thx man
Just moved up to ACC from AC, and this was very helpful. Thank you!
AC is hard mode, and ACC is fucking easy mode. But maybe AC is hard because it isn't realistic? Like the early GranTurismos?
Thank you so much Jardier! Just the basic setup guidelines you showed mad me like a whole 2.5 seconds faster around Kyalami in the NSX! I am so happy right now! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the explanation for what each setting does. I'll watch it a few more times to fully digest though. Question: Is there a certain percentage you look for on the front aero variation? You could almost do a video for each section for us setup handicapped people like me.
heh heh heh! I believe Jards is just as setup handicapped as you! He just has skillz that make him fassst! No really! Watch some of his live streams when 1.9 came out. His tuning method was not scientific at all, but mad scientist gone insane! It was funny, but totally opposite of confidence inspiring! You have to watch and like!
I used this as a base and changed a few things around as they felt better and I swear even with a lap with less than good lines I took 3 seconds off my best at COTA. You’ve got my subscription now. Epic stuff
As a novice to simracing setup I think incredible can't be enough to describe how good this guide is to a beginner like me. Setup is scary and confusing but with this explanation I can finally understand the most important part for a good handling car. Thank you very much, your kindness is inimitable
OMG 😊 Thank you so much. I have been playing around with settings to find a stable base to build from and you’ve only gone and supplied it. First run out at Nurburgring and I managed to find 3 seconds. I’m so grateful… keep sharing your tips, we love them. 😉
Hey Man, it did not feel long and definitely not exhausting! Great to hear opinions based on experience - super valuable! As a followup to this it would be fascinating to see you put this on a random car/track and watch you test/adjust as you go,
maybe showing how to feel when something is "too much" or "not enough"
OMG!!! He can't do a methodical "test" 🤣 There was a live stream when 1.9 first came out, and he was just insane min maxing different settings, "FOR SCIENCE!!!" but like for reals, it was just insanity! He was changing settings so extreme and totally min maxing stuff at random, and I thought, how can he get any info from this chaos??? There was 0 scientific methodology to it. I think he would go insane and stab someone if he had to do one click at a time on settings... 😅🤣
Thank you!!!!! :)
This tips help me A LOT! I was never able to do Blanchimont (Spa turn 17) at full throtle. Understanding theses tips I was able not only to make my car better but also understrand what I was doing. Thanks from Brazil!
Im going to test this soon. I like sim racing, but life takes too much time, so I get to race maybe once a week so I dont have time to setup and test cars. I would really like some servers with locked setups so People would be on same starting point. Of course driving styles suite some setups more than others, but it just frustrating to give up 2s a lap just bc you dont have time to test all setups.
So thanks for this. Ive tried some RUclipsr setups before and gotten 1-2s of my lap with them, but they were much more conservative. Looking forward to driving yours.
I am back after 2 years, and will continue to do sim racing, and Jimmy and Jardier are two faces I see are still around and even stronger and with even bigger enthusiasm.
It is amazing. Great video bud!
Thank you very much. I tried adjusting the base line setups but reached a point where I felt that the setup was limiting me. Following standard advice was always "don't go too soft or the car will be sluggish or unstable".
I started with your recommendations and now have a setup for the Nordschleife where I am the limit. The car can do more and is still as stable as my previous attempts while turning much better. Thank you for this guide1
didn't think this would help so much, genuinely just having listened has given me some ideas to solve so many issues I've been having in my setups, massive W
Thanks so much for this. I just started getting back into ACC with the Ferrari 296 and I was struggling for pace. After watching this vid and making changes to my setup, I instantly cut down my lap times.
Not only did it improve my times, but the car feels so much more satisfying to drive! This is so helpful!
Great to hear!:)
Thank you for the great explanation. I’m new to ACC and car setup has been a mystery to me thus far without help.
Thank you for this. I play single player and only want to challenge myself in my Nissan GTR, which is great fun to drive. I just need to not have a job or a family so I have enough time to try your suggestions out and tweak things per track!!
I've been struggling to get back to lap times in 1.8 version and just tried your setup tips, spent an hour practicing on Spa in Mclaren 720s EVO and have beaten my previous best by 0.5s . Thank you very much , brilliant advice.
Thank you so much Jards!!!
I have paused playing ACC for over 2 years and just getting started again. That massively helps me! ❤
Thank you Jardier for this Video i will try it tomorrow when i start to practice Brands Hatch for the Sunday race.
the higher the caster, the more camber you create while turning the wheel, look videos of old mercedes S classes running high caster the front tire always sits like this /. So the main idea is, the higher the caster the less static camber you need to take to reduce inner wear on straits. Also the higher the caster the "force" with the wheels want to go straight again is much higher, thats why lots of the drift cars use high caster to make the wheel rotate faster to 0° 🙂 Also negative toe in front makes the inital turn when moving the wheel quite response, wether in the middle of the corner you will miss feedback. negative toe on the rear makes the car very oversteery as the tires are like this \ / now when you turn the chassis rolls on the outer tire and this wants to go to the outside of the corner so thats the most carefulpoint on that ;D
Then you buy a setup from a reputable company for the AMG Merc in ACC and they run with max caster, max neg camber, max etc. It works but makes no sense and leaves no room for adjustment
Really good video, and explained well, no mucking around, just starting out with LFM, this helps.😎👍
Wow thanks! I had gained 2 seconds in spa doing exactly the opposite setup (get more harder on suspension) but now i will try it, thanks for all!
This has changed acc for me 100percent,i watched lots off you're videos,and i said too myself he's very precise with his driving, iv just tried you're settings, omfg i can drive really good now,thank you for sharing
LETS GO !!!!:)
okey, I was just searching for guides about setups, and here you are. Thank you
Thanks a lot for this material. I was finally able to move from 16th to 11th position. After hundreds of hours of frustration with the ACC, satisfaction has finally arrived. :)))
this is by far the best explanation about acc setups on youtube! Thanks a lot! appreciate your work!
Thank you so much for this! You have no idea how much you've helped out of the frustration I always face in this game. You absolutely rock!
🤩
This makes great sense from a meta perspective, really appreciate you sharing these tips. For us people lower split 1, we trying so desperately to find that 1s were off pace, and this just got us a lot closer. Ty!
Thank you, Jardier, I hope this helps me. Audi was my car until 1.9, so I hope this info helps me figure it out again. It has become a very unpredictable car.
this completely revolutionised my game man. i applied these changes to my aston setup and although i didn't immediately gain any time, i'm able to lap very close to my PB (still not very fast lol) so consistently and it feels so much better to drive. definitely agree the setups feel a bit less "passionate" with just min/max dampers and bumpstops but i always found them very tedious as someone who doesn't get much time to race, so this video was a godsend. thank you so much
Im glad mate!!! ENJOY! :)
Thank you! That saves so much time and frustration!
Hey buddy, nice very nice interesting video !! I was / am fighting my own battle against the big C... But trying to pick up hobby's like simracing and this video helps a lot with ACC and other sims
I like this kid. He has an honest enthusiasm for racing. Unlike some of the boring self opinionated whelks on RUclips.
Watching him race is a great way to learn how to approach races. Keep them coming pal.
Very helpful and much appreciated. Lower laptimes, stabler car and improved 'funability'. Used on the Frey Jag . Thanks.
Wow man. You’re a Sim Racing Legend bro. Thank you man. This helped me so much with my Porsche!
It did help. From the base to within 30 mins having a car that was spot on for me. And easy to tweak. Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo.
I'm really bad when it comes to setup the car in any sim game...this is so helpful
Thank you so much !!! Great Tutorial Jardier
I had to watch this video a couple of times to get all the information, but I really like this kind of "exausting" video! :D Tried this changes yesterday and it was mindblowing! The car is behaving a lot better now!
I have been using almost the same setup lol. I am not as skilled as you but found very similar setup on RUclips. Seems to work on almost every car. R8 and 911 just little different in rollbar . Then I tweak little things to damper but the tow I'm trying your setting and love it. Thanks
Protect this man at all costs! I was too fast and felt AI had nothing to offer on normal, but on Hard they were taking me to the cleaners. After using these tips in setting up my car, I'm now enjoying a much more responsive car and battling for podium position every race. Truly appreciated Jardier!!!
Subscribed, just got into ACC and this is by far the best set-up tutorial I've ever seen
Thank you for a great video explaining all these things! I just got myself ACC after playing around in free roam in AC, and I much prefer ACC.
And now I got an idea of how to set up the cars as well! So far I have been driving them as they were, so it will be interesting to see if I can improve.
Thank you for this video. It somehow shows how weird the ACC physics are. I would have never come to the idea to run such extreme values, for example on anti-roll bars and dampers. But if it works, it works...
Yeh, wait until update 2.0, and a whole new pandora's box will be opened! E-sports Aliens will always find the unnatural min-max (not)exploits!
I so much appreciate you taking the time to go though this! I haven’t run 1.9 yet but going to soon. Always before I really struggled w ACC, th car Never felt planted, hoping this will help. Thanks again so much for sharing this info with us!!!
Thank you!!! :)
Jardier! You are a legend mate. Thanks so much for sharing this. Setups is where I've been struggling to fully understand and I know it's been holding me back. Using your advice here and tweaking it for my own style has helped me find tenths where I haven't been able to for months. Huge fan mate. Love all your content. Thanks again.
Best set up video Ive seen so far. awesome explanations of what and why. Thank you!
Thank you!!! :)
Aspiring to get into LFM I need this help; you’re a legend mate, thanks!
Just wanted to say thank you Jardier, im just getting in to simracing(first/second week) and this helps immensely since ive understood already how much car setups matter, even though i dont fully understand how to. So thank you and i hope you keep doing these as the game(s) changes! :)
Thank you very much!
Your setup guide just made me improve almost a second and I am driving way more consistently too.
Just wow. Thanks Jardier! I quite literally gained 1.5 seconds at Watkins using these pointers. im down to 44.9 after being stuck at 46's for about a week of practice.
I finally got into the .49's at Monza. 1.49.44. So a .48 is in reach. Thanks for this guide, I have gained at least a second using the 296 Ferrari.
Hi Jardier, Late reaction.
I've listened carefully to your advice and as you say, with some adjustments to my driving style (let's have a laugh), I've improved it, which now allows me to focus on the trajectories and the lap times are coming down regularly.
this is great information. thank you, Im very new to sim racing and know a little bit about cars, but this information will help me map out the effects of each setting, stability vs control vs speed. thanks again @Jardier
That’s why we love Jardier. Sim racing community wouldn’t be anything without you. It may be time to cancel my subscription for paid setups 👀😂
Thank you for being a kind person and helping the rest in sharing these things cause it so daunting setting up these cars I spend more time setting up than actually racing and by the time I’m done I don’t want to race 🫣 great vid keep up the good work & just a request move the camera to the side where it’s not blocking the values when you changing it 🙏🏼
I felt the car is improved as a whole with your basic setup suggestion right out of the box. I had to do some 10-15 laps to get used to it without any improvement but the potential was there, you can feel it. Finally I made lots of pace and within a couple of laps after that initial weirdness, i gained like 1 full second. The car feels like you can push more and more in any given place of the track.
Brilliant mate. Thanks very much. Faster straight away and more stable. More fun to drive.
I have just started with ACC and found your videos very resourceful. Will definitely play with this goulash of parameters the way u insist :)
Thank you!
Thanks lots Jard, really helped me a lot and good to have a base setup to work from :) You're a legend, always love your videos and live streams bud!!
Awesome cheers mate gives me a starting point as I had no idea where to start
Very helpful for someone new to Simracing/ACC
